U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Bo Willoughby, Mountain School Cadre, 86th IBCT (MTN), Vermont National Guard, demonstrates how to set up a lowering system while leading a mountain skills class for United States Soldiers and Marines and members of Greece's Hellenic Army at Mt. Olympus, Greece, June 2, 2025. Vermont National Guard Soldiers from the U.S. Army Mountain Warfare School spent the day instructing the group on mountaineering techniques.
Demonstrating global deterrence and the U.S. Army’s ability to rapidly deploy U.S.-based combat power in Europe and the Arctic region alongside Allies and partners, DEFENDER 25 brings U.S. troops together with forces from 30 Allied and partner nations to build readiness through large-scale combat training from May 11-June 24, 2025. DEFENDER 25 increases the lethality of the NATO alliance through large-scale tactical training maneuvers and long-range fires, builds unit readiness in a complex joint, multinational environment and leverages host nation capabilities to increase the U.S. Army’s operational reach. During three large-scale combat training exercises—Swift Response, Immediate Response, and Saber Guardian—Ally and partner forces integrate and expand multi-domain operations capability, demonstrating combined command and control structures and readiness to respond to crisis and conflict.
